DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Hello All!
"Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens.
Your faithfulness to the skies."
Psalm 36:5
My4sonsjrbm: Those staying in GL for A School can have their phones back once they move over to that base, which is done shortly after PIR is over. They will then have Liberty with you and when they return to base that night, they can take phones and other personal items. Since the GL A School students get Daytime Liberty through the weekend, then they can continue to return to the base with personal items after each time of Liberty.
For those flyiing out, the families can meet them at the airports and pass off their personal items, including phones.
When do the sailors get their phones back? My husband and I will be going to graduation in January. Should we take his phone with us? When do those graduating boot camp get their phones back?
Good Morning! Have a wonderful weekend!
Advice received from one person who had their SR for Thanksgiving Day:
Be EARLY both to pick up and return your SRs for Christmas Day Liberty. They arrived one hour before their SR had to be back at base and it was already very crowded, with SRs jumping out of cars and running to the gate so as not to be late.
Thanks, CatMom. It was a very nice day!
Happy Friday!
"I will give You thanks in the great assembly;
among throngs of people I will praise You."
Psalm 35:18
diannep,
Have a blessed Thanksgiving gathering today!!
